Description ~ Stranded Colorwork with Latvian Braids Holiday Stocking

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care! In this stranded colorwork workshop, we'll knit up heirloom-quality holiday stockings from the top-down with an afterthought heel and a grafted toe, customizing them with different motifs, names, or even designing your own! You're the one making all the design decisions - choose as many colors as you wish (whether you're picking up yarn on our adventure or stash busting), add in Latvian or Estonian braids, buttons, texture - the sky's the limit! Previous colorwork experience necessary (taking the stranded colorwork hat class would be a great intro if you're inexperienced with colorwork).
